Last established launch facility in Australia was the Woomera rocket range in the late 50’s and 60’s mostly controlled by the British
I think during the Keating government there was a feasibility study done on Cape York by the Australian government and local scientists in collaboration with NASA but nothing came of it , it was going to be called “The Cape York Space Port or “Cape York Space Facility”
It’s got me stuffed why we don’t invest more in Space technology, we have all the natural resources and geographic location , just need the investment and technical personnel / manpower
Way of the future for this country IMHO
